NBA Cup Final Odds

Today's NBA Cup Final +EV Picks - December 17

1. Dame Lillard Under 3.5 Turnovers (+115)

Our +EV tool is all over this prop tonight, with the expected value sitting at 39.75%.

Lillard has avoided exceeding this number in five of his last 10 games.

2. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 5.5 Rebounds (-110)

The Thunder superstar has been strong against this number, as SGA has hit this Over in six of his last 10.

We're getting an expected value of 29.79% on this one.

3. Bobby Portis Over 11.5 Points (-105)

The veteran has a knack for stepping up in big games, so we're going in on this one. Portis hit this in the NBA Cup Quarterfinals against the Magic, one of two of his last three games to land on the Over.

The expected value we're getting on this prop is 18.05%.

4. Isaiah Hartenstein Over 3.5 Assists (-103)

The big man's been successful against this number lately, with Hartenstein achieving this mark at a 60% rate over his last 10 games.

Our EV tool has this one at 17.51%.

5. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Under 33.5 Points (-120)

The Bucks will have a strong game plan to take the ball out of the hands of SGA tonight, which doesn't bode well for the Thunder's best player as he's already failed to beat this line in six of his last 10.

According to OC+, we're looking at 15.2% EV here.

Anthony Joshua returns against Kristian Prenga as a massive -1200 favorite in his first fight since surviving a devastating car crash in December.
